Lyrics

No Longer Mulling

Lyrics and music by Geem (BMI), © 2004 Geem

Stones and ruminations soak like rain
I step into the water and ease the pain
I like the stories I abhorred as a child
The sky?s a little clearer now; blue and mild

Yet, trails with tempests, leaves consume
Wrap the autumn, heavy loom
A step of faith, no longer mulling
While tangles in the shadows strongly pulling

Chorus


Cold-blooded scaly vertebrators
Raise the fear, political judicators
Some even impose their view of the story
Perpetuate blindness, promote their own glory

The tide?s indeed high, water?s rollin? in
Yet some stay in comfort; like the cloud of cold gin
A few still hoard the gold of this temporal plane
Yet, surprised when stung by the hungry insane

Chorus


Slimy worm draws up from the spray
Slick skin hardens in a shingly array
Slithering into a pile of dung,
Slips upstairs, the bells are rung

From my cellar to my foyer with blasts of power
While my neighbors come knocking in this conflicted hour
To help me achieve a truce, surrender the charm
Then peace with other kinfolk, arm in arm


Chorus:

Let the charm go, you?ll see how you?re fallin?
Your wings are charred, your land is marred
Let the seed fall, now look where you?re goin?
